====Bio-Tentacles====

A carrier meant for close-ranged assaults.

The weakest Battleship both in dps numbers-wise and single target damage/cpm wise, the Bio-Tentacles Hive Ship trades that for having powerful assault actions with its combined [[Tyranid_Bio-Weapons#Feeder Tentacles|Feeder Tentacles]] and 3 launch bays that can all deploy assault squadrons against the same enemy.

The Acid Infestation Hive Ship is comparable considering it can launch another 4 assault squadrons and do more damage and cpm against a single target, but the added bonus of flinging enemy ships around with the Hook ability gives the Bio Tentacles Hive Ship a definite fun factor.

It is armed with [[Tyranid_Bio-Weapons#Feeder Tentacles|Feeder Tentacles]], 3 [[Bio-Plasma Battery]] Weapons, 3 Launch Bays carrying [[Tyranid_Harpy|Harpies]] and [[Ether-Swimming Brood]]s and a [[Tyranid_Bio-Weapons#Great Claws|Spur.]]

The second carrier type and this one is for more longer ranges. The Acid Infestation Hive Ship with its 6 Launch Bays it brings to the field, is actually the second most efficient Carrier when considering points cost per launch bay, coming in just a fraction below 60 points per bay.

The Battleship Carrier gets beaten out by 55 points per bay with the [[Infestation Devourer]] Battle Cruiser. The plus side to taking the Hive Ship version is that you actually get standard weaponry to fall back on, and fairly decent weaponry at that, which compares to the raw dps/cpm numbers of many Cruisers/Battle Cruisers.

It is armed with 1 Super Heavy [[Pyro-Acid Battery|Pyro-Acid Artillery]], 1 Heavy [[Bio-Plasma Battery|Bio-Plasma Discharge Artillery]], 6 Launch Bays carrying [[Tyranid_Harpy|Harpies]] and [[Ether-Swimming Brood]]s and a [[Tyranid_Bio-Weapons#Great Claws|Spur.]]
